School starts in 20 days here, and I'm starting to get the school supply fever. You know what I'm talking about. When you're in pre-school, you have that container of white Elmer's glue that has an orange lid on it, the little spreader wand in the middle, and it smells like mint. Don't even try to deny the fact that you tasted it a time or two. I know I did. Unfortunately it never tasted like it smelled.
In kindergarten you had your crayon box full of those giant Crayola crayons that smell one hundred times stronger than normal sized crayons. -I love that smell!
When we were in middle school, there were new Trapper Keepers to buy every year (along with the coordinating folders and Lisa Frank stickers, of course). Sadly, in high school, there were no more Trapper Keepers, but there were still new backpacks to get every year.
And this is where I find myself now. I ordered my new book bag today. It's the Vera Bradley Puccini Messenger bag. I think it will be perfect for walking or biking the one mile to work, and the pattern is very retro looking.
If Trapper Keepers did come back, I would buy one in a heartbeat! Until then... it's a good thing I'm a teacher. Dorky as it makes me, I do love a new batch of school supplies every year!

I'm a little jealous that you still have 20 days left! I had my froshies today for orientation, and all students arrive tomorrow. I'm already tired, but there's no denying it - I'm thrilled to be back in the classroom. Wish me luck, enjoy those school supplies! (I sure loved my purchasing last month!!!)
Love the bag! We started on Tuesday of this week. It stinks going back early and it also stinks getting out early...we get out May 20th this year. What happened to the "old" summer that went from Memorial Day until Labor Day. Alas, it is gone.
